For my next bike, I either want a touring frame or a mixte, but since my Surly CX is already a jack-of-all-trades commuter/tourer/just fun to ride bike (if a little heavy with front and rear Nice Racks), I'm leaning towards a steel mixte frame.
I haven't seen many of these, so right now it's basically looking like the Soma Buena Vista frame (http://www.somafab.com/bvista.html). I'd like it with Nitto Moustache handlebars (http://www.rivbike.com/products/show/nitto-moustache-bar/16-028), bar end shifters, and a set of fenders, maybe a lighter rear rack. Any suggestions aside from Soma?
